Coaches,

If you would like to order coaches shirts for the assistant coaches here is the info. The shirts are $25.00 each which covers the shirt and shipping. If you are interested please let me know the size. We will need to have the shirts paid for up front because the league does not have enough money to cover all the shirts. We are hoping for a great fundraiser this year. Keep your fingers crossed and don’t forget the turn in day of September 5th. Thanks and good luck this season.

Coaches,
Not sure how to handle this one but it seems that we have had some miscommunication for the practices at the Vets Field. Any coaches that are currently practicing at the Vets Field must stop practicing there until you receive permission from Karen at the Vets Hall.

Karen was highly upset that we did not ask permission and they will not allow anymore practices their until you speak with her first. The field is not one of our normal practice areas but we have so many teams that we needed more space. I was not aware of all their procedures to practice on the field, but I do now.

I apologize for any problems this has/will cause you but please talk to Karen and sweet talk her a little to see if you can still practice on their field. Just blame it on me.

Thanks.

Coaches,

There seems to be a little confusion or misunderstanding on the temporary rosters. Let me try to help clarify.

There was not enough time to get the permanent rosters into the computer before the coaches meeting. The reason we handed out temporary rosters was so that the coaches could start to get their teams organized and contact their kids. The permanent rosters will more than likely not change except maybe if a parent requests that their child be moved to another team.

It’s ok to start practices on the 1st of August even if a child is going to be moved later. The only thing I would hold off on is ordering your banners. If you are not going to put the kids names on the banner go ahead and order it, otherwise I would wait for the permanent roster to make sure you are set.

Wendy is working on the permanent rosters and hopefully they will be done as soon as possible.

I hope this helps and thanks.

For info purposes.
Thanks Matt

Hey matt,
Could you let the coaches know, shin guards and soccer cleats are sold locally at ADR sports, next to the post office, very affordable, and good stuff!
Thanks, Chris Stuebner
